OK
If the problem is in the wiring or connections from the ballast resistor, then jumping from the run side to the regulator'd IGN terminal should fix that and regulate!

...I also measured the regulator resistance from ign to field poles and found the regulator has an open ...I have another regulator that shows a resisitance value other than infinity...
